This project is now complete! All files can be found at https://librivox.org/the-spirits-book-by-allan-kardec/

This is an abandoned solo, being open as a collaborative for completion.

The Spirit's Book, by Allan Kardec (1804 - 1869), translated by Anna Blackwell (1816 - 1900)
The Spirits' Book, published in French in 1857, is considered the most important book in the Spiritist philosophy. It contains the bases for that philosophy and all important points in its doctrine: the belief in God, reincarnation and the survival of the soul after death, the fact that it is through reincarnation that the soul learns and moves closer to perfection. The work is the first of a five book canon, and it is organized in the form of questions and answers, with commentary by the codifier, Allan Kardec, a pseudonym of Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail. (Summary by Leni)
